Just need a quick bit of advice;

basically was coming back from DJin in manchester last night, got pulled on the motorway for doing 90. Fair enough i shouldnt have been doing those speeds but it was 3am and i just wanted to get home. (please dont moan about the speed, we all speed at the end of the day, if youve got nothing helpful to say, dont say anything)

Got 3 points and a fine but i was wondering how i go about going on a course to knock the 3 points off, i know you can do it but i just don't know how to go about getting on it, any advice on the matter much appreciated, cheers guys.

I think it's usually offered there and there.

Think you take a drivers hazardous awareness couse and they don't point or fine you.

sure you can do a course or something which they send you too and you just get the fine and not the points?

they usually only offer if you were doing say 35 in a 30 minimal speeds etc. 90 is a fair whack past the limit so doubt youll get that offer tbh

aayye it has to be there and then, it seems though that it depends on officer, i got done for speeding and wasnt given the option, a friend was caught in exact same place yet offered the awareness course by same copper

probably down to wether the copper likes you or not

On that course they make you feel so small and take you back to basics. They make you talk with others about you offence why it was wrong and how you can prevent doing it again. My dad did the course for doing 36 in 30 zone or something simular and he took the course option. He said if they asked him again he would take the points and fine than do that course
